Colossians 4

(1) He adds certain general exhortations, and at length ends his epistle with various familiar and godly salutations. (2) Prayers must be continual and earnest.

4:33 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

(3) Those who minister the word, must especially be entrusted to the prayers of the Church. (a) An open and free mouth to preach the Gospel.

4:54 Walk b in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the c time.

(4) In all parts of our life, we ought to have good consideration even of those who are outside of the Church. (b) Advisedly and cautiously. (c) Seek occasion to win them, even though you lose something of your own by it.
